I was recently on a search committee, and we were faced with the
case of a guy with a great CV, two glowing letters of
recommendation, and one not-so-great letter which just didn't
seem to jive with the rest of the candidate's application. What
our committee decided to do was ask the guy for a fourth letter
of recommendation. The fourth letter basically reiterated what
was in the two "good" letters, and ultimately we hired the
candidate -- a decision we have not regretted!!!
